The hotel almost seemed like a front and didn't feel like the primary priority of the business. Guests seemed like a necessary nusance. The place has alot of paint peeling and quick touch-ups that hide the run down nature of the property. The pool deck lacks adequate sun and size (it's tiny) to make it a place you'd want to... more

Overvalued !

The blue room we booked had damp patches, cracks on the walls and was basically a B&B room with no TV. It also did not have a telephone in the room which meant we couldn't arrange our activities in Rio. Had the place booked for nearly a week but checked out after the first night stay as we didn't want... more

We stayed in the Recamier Room for 3 nights. The room was spacious and stylish. The bed was two singles pushed together, which made for an obvious connection in the middle. There were french doors that went out onto balcony which had a wonderful view of Christ Redentor. However, there were no chairs or the traditional hammock (which was at... more

The first impression was not good. The property is a bit run down and does not resemble the pictures on the website. The owner did give suggestions for restaurants and sightseeing but the recommendations weren't that great. At times it was difficult to locate staff to help us although the breakfast was delicious. When we got our bill at the... more

La Maison is small, special and intimate. We recently stayed in the Copacabana bedroom, whose balcony has fabulous views over the city, and to Corcovado. The decor of La Maison is fabulous, and our bedroom was modern and chic. The breakfasts were some of the best we have enjoyed in Brazil. Nothing was too much trouble for Jacques and his... more

Arrived in pouring rain to be greeted by Brazilian staff owner "held up in traffic". Shown to our room Ganesha.which was small, dark ,dingy ,scruffy with very unkempt dark terrrace, immediately thought that for 200 euros per night we have been totally stiched up. Owner Jaques was held up not it appears because of the awful weather but he was... more
